Wednesday, October 10th

SS 8 -->   Today we started our study of the Civil War by investigating the Bombardment of Fort Sumter.  We read as a class on the bombardment as to prepare students for a battle they will be assigned.  Students will be creating a glog on one of eight battles of the Civil War.  I then showed students a completed glog on the Bombardment of Fort Sumter and we watched a 3 minute clip from PBS' Civil War that was embedded on the example glog.  Tomorrow I will link the glog on my blog.

TRIVIA - due Friday:  This week's trivia --  There are THREE historical quotes on my teacher page.  Who said the third one?  What does it mean in your own words.


APUSH --> Today we discussed the presidency of George Washington.  We discussed how political parties developed during his administration.  We watched a 9-minute clip from George Ellis' Founding Brothers which discussed the Bank of the United States.
